I just saw Jr for the first time tonight! grin (10" f 5.6 @ 237X) The seeing was bad, (3-4/10) so the view was fleeting. I confirmed that I did see it by looking at the most recent Jupiter pics on ALPO's web site.

"Though parted by a gulf more impassable than any sea, the telescope lets us traverse what otherwise had been barred and lands us at last above the shores we went forth to seek. Real the journey is, though incorporeal in kind. Since the seeing strange sights is the essence of all far wanderings, it is as truly tavel so the eye arrive as if the body kept it company." Pervcival Lowell
